the medicare advantage program the medicare part "d" program and those in the netherlands and switzerland and arguably in germany also exchanged -- contain elements of health insurance exchange. the connecticut business and industry association represented here by mr. vogel today represents a successful private purchasing cooperative. while each of these models can be called an exchange, they are in fact, quite different. indeed the models represented by the house and senate bills are different in very significant ways. the focus of my paper and my brief presentation this morning is how the house and senate bills differ and which model is most likely to result in the exchange that serves the best the goals that an exchange is intended to fulfill. first, let me ask you the question why do we need an exchange? what do we expect an exchange to accomplish for us that? it is intended to play a number of roles in health care reform. sarah briefly went over this, but let me do it again. first, it is expected to be the lowest of managed competition among health insurance plans. it is hoped that t
